In the early morning of the next day, An Lushan led thousands of cavalry under his command to rush straight to the Pingshan Pass, and did not hesitate in the face of the tens of thousands of Zhou troops blocked at the mouth of the mountain pass, bent on rescuing the people trapped in the valley.

It is also strange to say that the Zhou army that blocked the mountain col did not block it, but made a way and let An Lushan lead the troops to rush in, which made Shi Siming and the three of them, who were hiding on the distant hillside watching the battle, stunned.

However, this consternation soon disappeared, because after An Lushan led his troops into the valley, the Zhou army immediately changed formations and sealed the mountain col again.

Shi Siming could see clearly that the current formation of the Zhou army was a killing formation rather than the previous defensive formation, which showed that the Zhou army was determined to completely trap the people in the valley and never give them a chance to rush out.

After listening to Shi Siming's analysis, Xiao Dingmou's eyes lit up: "It seems that the real Yang Ping'an in the valley is there, brother slave, you are doing a good job." ”

Last night, the three of them discussed how to determine that Yang Ping'an was in the mountain pass, and Li Linfu put forward an opinion, that is, let An Lushan lead the troops to battle.

If An Lushan really didn't care about the impact on the Zhou army, it means that Yang Ping'an was really trapped in the valley, not a trap set by Yang Ping'an.

"Thank you for the compliment, my subordinates are ashamed, and I am willing to go to the soup for my son, and I have done my best." Li Linfu is also a human being, so he immediately changed his words, Xiao Dingmou did not say much, obviously recognizing his ability and being qualified to be his staff.

Shi Siming looked at Li Linfu with some envy, and then said, "Childe, what should I do now." ”

"Wait."

Li Linfu determined the identity of the people trapped in the valley, and the rest of the matter was easily solved, they did not have to attack the Zhou army, even if they were sure to defeat the enemy army, but there was no need to lose troops in order to save their enemies.

Borrowing a knife to kill people is a good strategy, since the Zhou army wants to trap and kill Yang Ping'an in the valley, then it is up to them, and when Yang Ping'an's army is destroyed, they can attack the Zhou army that blocked the mountain pass.

At that time, Yang Ping'an died at the hands of the Zhou army, and they defeated the Zhou army and avenged Yang Ping'an's horse, even Yang Rui could not blame them, and they had to be rewarded for their military exploits.

This is three days, and in the three days, the Zhou army outside the mountain col has never clashed with Yang Ping'an's troops in the mountain col, and it seems that they have made up their minds to be trapped alive, which makes Xiao Dingmou and a few people a little unbearable.

Things can't be delayed any longer, if it's too late, things will change, and if you miss the best opportunity to get rid of Yang Ping'an, you may not know when it will be next time.

It's just that they didn't have time to discuss countermeasures at all, because there was a Zhou army quietly approaching them.

They didn't find this Zhou army, but Shi Siming had many years of experience in fighting, and he found that some of the outposts he sent out had not returned for a long time, and there was no news of it, and the whole team was missing, which made him vigilant.

In particular, these missing sentinels, who were all wandering at the junction of Guabu [***], immediately concluded that the Zhou army was quietly approaching, and already knew that they were stationed here.

Zhou Jun knows about it.

Shi Siming and the others didn't have time to think about this issue at all, because the Zhou army was already very close and could attack at any time, Shi Siming immediately ordered the whole army to be on alert and ready to face the battle, right in the deserted village where they were stationed.

Now there is no time to avoid it, and he doesn't even dare to retreat, because this Zhou army is too mysterious, and Shi Siming still can't determine the location of the Zhou army, lest his side be in chaos, giving the Zhou army an opportunity.

His decision was extremely correct, in fact, the Zhou army that had arrived from Guabu had already reached ten miles away, but the dense forests near Pingshan Pass were conducive to concealment, and the Tang army had not yet discovered it.

found that the Tang army was prepared, and the Zhou army also gave up the preparation for a sneak attack, and directly showed its posture to attack the Tang army.

This Zhou army was a reinforcement sent by Guabu, which was originally going to join forces with the Zhou army that was pursuing An Lushan to attack [***], with a total of 30,000 people, but it ran into its own defeated army on the way, so as to learn the news that the Zhou army was defeated by the Tang army.

Although there are factions in the army, a situation like Yangzhou, not to mention in the Tang Dynasty, is the only one in the world.

The same melon infantry horse, since the same enemy, the leading generals made a decisive decision, changed the direction of the march, wanted to pursue Shi Siming's department, avenge their comrades, and defeated Shi Siming's department, [***] will also fall into the hands of the Zhou army.

Widely scattered to explore the horse to follow the traces, I thought it would take a lot of effort, who knew that Tang Jun was extremely careless, leaving countless traces along the way, it seems that no one would be traced.

Faced with so many traces, Zhou Jun hesitated, and even wondered if this was a trap by Tang Jun and deliberately lured them to the bait.

In order to prevent the anti-Chinese ambush, the Zhou army marched very carefully, wasting several days, until they discovered a small group of sentinels of the Tang army, and then they determined that the Tang army had no traps at all, and it was simply too negligent.

As Shi Siming guessed, Zhou Jun planned to find an opportunity to sneak attack, and he had to win a big victory to minimize his own damage.

Seeing that there was no longer an opportunity for a sneak attack, the Zhou army did not wait any longer, and directly gathered troops and horses to launch an attack on the Tang army.

Shi Siming also had no way to retreat, and the two sides launched a fierce battle on the periphery of Pingshan Pass, shouting and killing to the sky.

In Pingshan Pass, Yang Ping'an sat under a big tree, holding a half-bitten wild fruit, quietly listening to the sound of fighting in the distance, and showed a smug smile.

"Big brother, they started the fight." An Lushan, who was sitting next to him, threw away the core in his hand and asked with a wipe of his mouth.

"The wisdom of the adults is like a god, the last general is admired, and General An's wisdom is admirable." Kong Haoxia's face was excited, and his eyes were full of admiration when he looked at Yang Ping'an.

Yang Ping'an nodded lightly and said with a smile: "It's just a surname, it's nothing, fatty, you have worked hard this time, but it's a pity that I can't give you credit." ”

Whether it was the Tang army or the Zhou army, it was all attracted by An Lushan, needless to say Shi Siming, and the Zhou army that came later, most of the traces they found were deliberately left by An Lushan.

Shi Siming's soldiers are strong and strong, and Yang Ping'an thinks that he has little chance of winning in a head-to-head confrontation, referring to the help of Zhou Jun's hand, at this point, he has the same idea as Xiao Dingmou, which is to kill people with a knife.

The difference is that the knife borrowed by the two is different from Zhou Jun.

"Haoxia, you go to the mountain pass and look at Chu Pei, I'm afraid he won't be able to hold his breath." Yang Ping'an listened for a moment, "Also, you asked him to send a scout horse to investigate the situation of the battle over there, if you see the Zhou army retreating, you immediately launch an attack and rush into the mountain pass." ”

"Yes, the last will obey." Kong Haoxia hugged his fists, immediately led the horse, turned over, and galloped straight to the mountain pass.

The Zhou troops guarding the mountain pass, when they saw him coming, immediately gave way and let him rush into the army, and all the Zhou troops seemed to turn a blind eye along the way, allowing him to come to the big tent in the army, and even after he dismounted, the Zhou army came to lead the horse for him.

"Brother Chu." Kong Haoxia shouted, bent down and walked into the big tent, a person in the tent sat high and clenched his fists and his eyes breathed fire, it was Chu Pei.

"Brother Kong, but the adults have orders." Chu Pei immediately got up, walked quickly to meet him, and asked anxiously.

"I guess I can't wait." Kong Haoxia smiled and pulled Chu Pei's arm, "My lord has ordered, let you calm down for a while, and you send a sentry post, once you find that the Zhou army that is fighting with Shi Siming is retreating, you will immediately lead the troops into the mountain pass." ”

"Rush into the col." Chu Pei was stunned for a moment, and the anxiety on his face was even worse, "What should I do if Shi Siming runs away." ”

If Shi Siming knew that the incident of Pingshan Pass was set up by Yang Ping'an against him, the purpose was to kill him, but he was afraid that he would vomit three liters of blood.

The Zhou army at the pass of the mountain pass was disguised by the Tang army, and they were all soldiers and horses under Yang Ping'an, and they were handed over to Chu Pei to command, as for the military uniforms of the Zhou army...... Didn't Yang Ping'an ambush a Zhou army not long ago?

Kong Haoxia is a smart man, he knows very well why Yang Ping'an sent him here, Chu Pei and Shi Siming have a deep blood feud, when Yang Ping'an promised to avenge him, his hatred can be temporarily calmed, but when he sees that the enemy is close at hand, and is fighting with the Zhou army, the fire of hatred must be strong.

Yang Ping'an was worried that Chu Pei was eager for revenge, and he couldn't control it for a while and destroyed the whole plan, so that Shi Siming could escape from this mortal situation.

Seeing Chu Pei's appearance, Kong Haoxia couldn't guess the other party's thoughts.

"Brother, don't worry, how can Shi Siming's thief escape from the palm of an adult, you still can't believe in an adult, but then again, if you make an assertion and spoil the adult's strategy, then you are really sorry for General Chu, and let the relatives and enemies be happy."

His words were sincere, Chu Pei's face changed several times, and slowly his eyes were no longer so red, and he gritted his teeth and said: "It was me who was wrong, fortunately Brother Kong reminded me, otherwise I might not be able to control myself, I was waiting for a while, and I must slash the thief." ”

Poor Shi Siming didn't know that since he followed An Lushan out of [***] City, he had fallen into Yang Ping'an's trap.

In the face of the fierce Guabu Zhou army, he had a trace of cowardice in his heart, he didn't know who the other party's general was, but the combat power of the Zhou army on the other side was not weaker than him, and he still had a slight upper hand in terms of troops.

There is no reason, how can you kill Yang Ping'an with so many obstacles.

"General Shi, if I don't think it works, let's withdraw, there's no need to fight hard here." Xiao Dingmou was a man of letters, and the confrontation between the two armies made his clever plan completely useless.

Listening to the screams in his ears, watching the figures in front of him fall one by one, and smelling the increasingly thick smell of blood in the air, Xiao decided to be timid.

He is a person who has great wealth to enjoy, there is no need to stand under this dangerous wall, besides, he has not been defeated, not long ago he was defeated in the Valley of the Long Wind, when he paid the surname of 5,000 soldiers and horses as the price of the break, and they fled to Tianchang.

Although the outcome is unpredictable now, there is no need to fight to the death here, it is a big deal to lose another 5,000 soldiers and horses, as long as it can be guaranteed to get rid of Yang Ping'an, it is worth losing more soldiers and horses.

"Childe, wait." Shi Siming disobeyed Xiao Dingmou's order for the first time, "The enemy army can't hold on for long, and if it continues to fight, it will only be a defeat for both sides, but if you retreat now, I am afraid that the enemy army will take advantage of the situation to cover up and kill, and no one can say what will happen when the time comes." ”
